[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your wrong to think of this as legislation.  This is oversight.  Charters can pay their teachers more if they want.[/quote]

Somewhat true -- the amount that charters have to pay their teachers is based on the amount of funding they receive. This funding (in theory) should be equitable with DCPS. If DC is providing an additional 170 million to DCPS outside of the per pupil funding formula for teacher salaries, then DCPS is getting thousands of dollars more per student than charters.

This could all be solved by charters committing in writing to using the funds to pay their teachers more.  They won’t. It will go into a black hole that no one can track. They will continue to pay their teachers 40,000 a year.  It’s a feature not a bug.  [/quote]

Lies. My charter school matches the DCPS scale to be competitive for educators. Also, publicly available reports show that the average salary for charter teachers two years ago was over 65K with a max over 130K.[/quote]

I’m PP. I just looked up my kids charter school (Breakthrough) and the average teacher salary is $64,860 with a range of 57,500-83,850. However all the admin make over $100,000.  Let’s be honest I chose it for Montessori but I understand the teachers are not getting paid as high and that’s probably why we have had turnover. [/quote]
